Feeding Strawberries
 

Our strawberry plants are starting to show flowers so we are feeding
them . Thing is we can't remember how often to feed the Strawbs, any
ideas?

You will need to give them a high potash feed, such as Tomerite or a
proprietory rose fertiliser. The dilution rate and application dosage will
be on the back of the pack.

That's the main problem, the label on the bottle/container of soft
fruit feed is indecipherable as it is mostly worn away.
New bottle of feed, as this bottle is over a year old?

Oh dear. I've got Tomorite, so could check my label for you (prob tomorrow
now it's dark), but if you're using rose fertiliser, I can't help. The
other possibility is a Sunday visit to Homebase/B&Q et al, to 'borrow' a
read of their labels. Cheeky, but do-able:~).

No info on any of their web sites?
